Text | He should call foul balls in a loud tone of voice, but not until the ball actually becomes a foul ball by touching the ground, the person of a player, or any other object behind the range of the home and first base and home a third base. In cases of foul ball tipped, he may call them promptly as soon as struck; but when a ball rises in the air to the right or left, and presents the appearance of going either fair or foul, he should wait until the ball touches some object before he calls foul. When a ball is fair he should keep silent. |
